I’ll admit, I’m in a little bit of a fashion rut. It’s not a surprise, as it happens almost every year when transitional spring-summer outfits are out in full force, and I’m trying to decide what’s best to wear when the weather itself can’t decide what it’s doing. This often leads me to wear the same pair of trainers over and over and over again, which is a shame, seeing as there are so many good summer shoe trends I could slowly start gathering and adopting now.

But trends can be fleeting, so there is one fashionable group I always turn to for help: the it girls a stone’s throw from us over in France. They have impeccable trend radars that lead them to specific styles that somehow always end up remaining timeless. Hence why I’m leaving it to these French girl summer shoe trends to guide me when it comes to shopping for and styling footwear this season.

Kindly pulling me out of my comfy trainers slump are around six summer shoe trends I’ve noticed on some of the most stylish French influencers. All of these picks stand out for a few reasons. They’re versatile enough to wear for a plethora of summer occasions, from holidays to weddings to sunny days sitting in the park with friends, and they’re easy to pair with a healthy rotation of outfits, regardless if you’re one to opt for dresses and skirts or trousers and shorts. Most notably, they all seem to elevate an outfit or make it feel more interesting. Even the more ultra-trendy styles (like jelly sandals) offer something that’s playful and intrinsically summery.
